Chapter 848: The Psychic Master 12

Hearing Tang Wan’s firm assurance, He Tongyang’s face immediately lit up with a bright, carefree smile.

“Then let’s make a promise!” he said, eagerly extending his little finger.

Seeing this, Tang Wan didn’t hesitate. She hooked her finger with his, completing the childish but earnest pact.

Only then did the lingering tension in his expression completely fade.

Watching him relax, Tang Wan couldn’t help asking gently, “Why did you suddenly ask that, Tongtong?”

He answered without hesitation, his tone simple and direct. “Because Mom and Dad don’t want me… so I was scared Wanwan wouldn’t want me either.”

The moment those words left his mouth, Tang Wan’s heart tightened.

A trace of pain flashed across her face. Without thinking, she stepped forward and wrapped her arms around him, pulling him into a gentle embrace.

“That’s them,” she said softly but firmly. “But I will never abandon Tongtong. No matter what happens, no matter what you become—I won’t leave you. I promise.”

“Mm! I believe you!” He Tongyang nodded happily, his trust completely unguarded.

At the same time, his favorability toward her rose sharply.

But before Tang Wan could feel pleased about it, the system’s voice cut in again—this time carrying an entirely different tone.

“Host… there’s been a deviation in the favorability trend. It’s currently shifting toward familial affection.”

Tang Wan froze.

“…What do you mean ‘familial affection’?” she asked, her voice turning cold.

A bad premonition rose in her chest.

Don’t tell me…

Because she had introduced herself as his “grandmother” at the beginning, he had actually taken it seriously?

If that were true—

That would be disastrous.

The system quickly summoned a translucent panel in front of her, tapping it with a small glowing wand as it explained, “Simply put, ‘familial affection’ means the target is starting to see you as a family member. After my upgrade, I can now monitor the emotional category behind favorability in real time.”

It paused briefly before continuing, “This helps ensure you don’t go in the wrong direction during the”attack” process and increases your success rate.”

Then its tone grew more serious.

“According to the main system’s rules, if the target’s feelings fall under familial affection, the favorability can only reach a maximum of 80. Even if you complete the task, you won’t be able to fully”attack” the target… or form a romantic bond with the villain.”

Tang Wan went silent.

So… she had accidentally turned her future husband into her “grandson”?

For a brief moment, her expression darkened.

But she quickly forced herself to calm down.

Her gaze shifted back to He Tongyang, who was still looking at her with pure trust and admiration.

After a moment, she spoke to the system again. “Is there any way to get rid of the blood clot in his brain faster?”

Only once his condition improved—and his mind returned to normal—would he be able to reassess their relationship.

The system immediately began pulling up data, listing various causes of memory loss related to brain congestion, nerve compression, and blood pressure.

Then, rubbing its hands together, it said eagerly, “Host, after upgrading, I unlocked the system application store! You can exchange points for special abilities. For his current condition… as long as you spend 100 points, you can resolve the issue directly!”

Tang Wan wasn’t short on points. A hundred was nothing to her.

But instead of agreeing immediately, she narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the system.

“Little Cutie… you seem very eager for me to spend points in this store.”

The system stiffened.

Caught.

With an awkward cough, it admitted, “Well… whenever the host spends points, the system receives a 10% commission…”

Tang Wan stared at it.

“…And what exactly do you need commission points for?” she asked flatly.
